(SitNews) Ketchikan, Alaska - According to a press release issued by the Ketchikan Police Department today, approximately 3:45 AM Tuesday morning, the Ketchikan Police Department responded to the 300 block of Edmonds Street responding to a report that a male had been shot.
According to the press release, upon arriving on the Edmonds Street scene officers gave emergency medical treatment to a person they identified as the victim who had been shot in the arm. The injured male was then transported by ambulance to Peace Health Ketchikan Medical Center and later transported to Anchorage by Med Evac for emergency surgery.
The Ketchikan Police Department identified the suspect in the shooting as Jeffery K. Craig, age 53.
This morning at approximately 8:00 AM, Ketchikan Police Department Officers with assistance from the Alaska State Troopers executed a search warrant on a residence in the 12000 block of North Tongass Highway and took Craig into custody.
Craig was placed under arrest for Attempted Murder in the First Degree, Assault in the First Degree, and Misconduct Involving Weapons in the Third Degree. Craig was transported to the Ketchikan Correctional Center where he was booked and held without bail.
Craig was arraigned later Tuesday afternoon on these charges and held on $200,000.00 bail.
As a reminder, charges are merely accusations and a defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
